Lots of rain for the Hill Country!

7-23-24. 8:45am. This Update is brought to you by Bahia Services and Rentals in Port O'Connor, TX https://www.facebook.com/BahiaServicesandRentals

Wow! Impressive rains and unfortunately some flooding, over the areas of the Hill Country that have needed a big rain event for so long. With more on the way today, we should see some help for Medina, Amistad and Canyon lakes. As an added boost, the Edwards Aquifer should also see a rise in its level. My weather station in NW Bexar County, has recorded 4.55 inches over the past 24hrs and I have seen rain totals of over 7 inches in Real, Edwards and Val Verde Counties.

Current radar shows more storms moving in from the west and as I type this update, lots of flood warnings are in effect and more flooding is likely through today.

Areas affected...Portions of the TX Hill Country and adjacent
areas of South-Central TX

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

SUMMARY...Clusters of slow-moving showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall rates this morning will maintain a rather
strong likelihood of flash flooding across portions of
south-central TX, including parts of the TX Hill Country.

For those of you south of HWY 90 and I-10 east to Houston, the latest models and forecasts are shifting this rain event southeast over the next 48 hours. I'll have an update later today.

How much rain has fallen at your place and where?
